Tournament Details:
YALE INVITATIONAL
Host:Â Yale University
Location:Â New Haven, Conn.
Course:Â Yale Golf Course
Course Vitals:Â Par-71, 5,984 yards
Dates:Â September 10-11, 2022
Â
THE COURSE:
In 1923, a 700-acre tract of swamp and woodland was given to Yale by Mrs. Ray Tompkins in memory of her husband. Under the supervision of Charles Blair Macdonald, the renowned golf course architect, champion golfer, and co-founder of the USGA, plans were made for an 18-hole golf course. With a budget of $400,000, Macdonald, in collaboration with Seth Raynor, designed a masterpiece which opened for play in 1926.
Â
Today, the Yale Golf Course is recognized as one of the finest examples from the Macdonald & Raynor portfolios. Large greens with deep bunkers and wide, rolling fairways are the core of Yale's strategic and penal character. The Yale Golf Course is consistently recognized as the finest collegiate course in the nation. The course has been the site of every significant state championship, two USGA Junior National events, and NCAA Regionals in 1991, 1995, 2004, 2010, 2015 and again in 2022. The course has also been the home of the Nike Connecticut Open.
Â
The 6,766-yard, par-70 course features large and deeply bunkered greens and narrow fairways that challenge golfers at all levels of play.  Two of the holes—the 432-yard par-4 fourth and the 238-yard par 3 ninth—have been ranked among the world's 100 most difficult holes.
Â
THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Yale, the field included 13 other schools:Â Albany, Boston College, Boston University, Georgia Southern, Hartford, Harvard, James Madison, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Quinnipiac, Sacred Heart, UC-Irvine and Toledo.
Â
THE FORMAT:
Teams played five golfers and count the four lowest scores per round. Team ties will be decided by the fifth player's total score.  If there is still a tie, then daily scores of fifth player, working backwards from Round three, will be used. Â
Â
UP NEXT:
Seton Hall will return to tournament play when it heads to the Nittany Lion Invitational for three rounds of golf, Sept. 17-18.
